I stepped outside fro some fresh air and a cigarette and got thinkin' that my ealier response wasn't gonna cover it. About that time, my neighbor hollered over, and I went to go catch up and discus the elections and other neighborhood happenin's and lost all track of time.
But I see the others jumped in with some good ideas.
A thought I had just before Neighbor Dave hollered to me . . . How are you checking for spark at the plugs. Are you doing a static timing (motor stopped at TDC and trying to dial the distributor in until you get a spark) or are you cranking the motor over and never getting a spark? If the static timing, how far have your turned the distibutor. Wondering if you might simply have it 180* out -- not hard to do, happens a lot. (If far enough off, it could just as easily be the indexing that John T and a couple others mentioned -- 1080* is just the extreme case of that)
If looking for a spark while cranking, have you checked a plug wire grounded to chassis (just like you did with the coil wire)? If so does any wire spark at ANY point? If not, with everything else you've replaced (and I DO mean everything), that really leaves the plug wires or their connectors as prime suspects.
